Hmm...
This seems to come up every few months here on Wrestlecrap. I know that me and Maxx have posted before about why an IRA gimmick is offensive and abhorrent.
As Maxx said, why don't you try the gimmick out in Belfast or Derry. See what happens.
Hope your family enjoy your funeral.

Ryan O Reilly is looking for a job. Has the Irish Mob had any influence since 1920? I prefer my gimmicks relevant. Russian or Republican mafia makes more sense. Sheamus O'Shaughnessy is Irish as hell and a friggin monster in the ring. I cannot WAIT to see him called up.

Funnily enough I had an Oirish tag team of CAW's in the last Smackdown game, 1 was called Donny Brook and the other was Tom Foolery.
Genius I tells ya!

Just thought it was amusing to toss out there. It's not like I'd be for having Finlay come out to Zombie by the Cranberries and place bombs in London.

It's funny, me and Spankypak were discussing an Irish gimmick. Only it would be called the Irish 'Rasslin Alliance. Think about it a little.... Youve stolen my mates plan. Theyre basically a Uk equivilant of the NWO but a lot more terroristical (that should well be a word), invading all the brittish indies They plan on being the most heel stable in the history of wrestling Tell me more about your mate's plan...

A friend of mine and his bro (The Cassidy Bros.) wrestled as a tag team with NWA Ireland (now Fight Factory Pro Wrestling) and because they were from the north of Ireland (geographically, just. They're from Donegal which is part of the Republic but borders Northern Ireland) they wanted to give them a Loyalist gimmick. The idea was imediately shot down (no pun intended) and thankfully so. It would have attracted the wrong kind of heat and stir up shit that needs to be left in history.

I'd love to see a gimmick inspired by "The Departed" so long as it doesnt end with everyone getting shot in the head......

I'm sure the UDA would've loved that

Why would they want to do that if they're from Donegal? Really makes no sense. Youve stolen my mates plan. Theyre basically a Uk equivilant of the NWO but a lot more terroristical (that should well be a word), invading all the brittish indies They plan on being the most heel stable in the history of wrestling And the Irish invading England? That's quite the role reversal. >_>

Our children are leaving & we have no heads. We sing & we drink & we drink & we die. WE HAAAAAVE NO HEEEEEEAAAADS! NO, WE HAAAAAVE NO HEEEEEEAAAADS!

It could work but may fly over the heads of a lot of American audience minds since gangsters aren't really associated with the Irish. Pubs and drinking are the first stereotypes that usually come to mind, but my irish side'd mark
